The Windows installer was improved to prevent common installations issues. Please check the suggested installation paths during installation, making sure the update is installed into the same location as the previous version, and that all installed plugin formats are being updated.

The factory preset library has been revamped for this update.
Some less useful presets have been removed, new ones have been added.
Presets are now sorted in a more meaningful way, thus you might have to reassign your favourites.
Windows and Linux users, please consider removing the factory library folder before running the update installer.

The delay line output range has been adjusted from 0 to 200 to 0 to 100.
If old projects were automating this parameter, the automation envelope needs to be adjusted.

We removed the ability to store information about the last used MIDI note and velocity in the preset file itself. The potential for confusion and accidentally saving this data with the preset simply outweighed the benefits.
To set a preset to a specific note in a project, either create a MIDI clip and set up your track so the effect plugin can receive MIDI from that clip. Or use the internalNote and internalVel host automation parameters in case your host cannot send MIDI to effects.
